Lyrics

Look at (F)me,

I’m as (Cm7)help less as a (F)kit ten up a (Bbmaj7)tree,

And I feel like I’m (Eb7)cling ing to a cloud,

I (Fmaj7)can’t un der (Dm7)stand, I get (Gm7)mist y just (C7)hold ing your (D7)hand.

Walk my (F)way

and a (Cm7)thou sand vi o (F)lins be gin to (Bbmaj7)play,

Or it might be the (Eb7)sound of your hel lo,

that (Fmaj7)mu sic I hear, I get (Gm7)mist y the (C7)mo ment you’re (C)near.

You can say that you’re (Cm7)lead ing me on,

But that’s just what I (Bbmaj7)want you to do.

Don’t you no tice how (Bm7)help less ly I’m lost,

That’s why I’m (G7)fol low ing (C7)you.

On my (F)own,

would I (Cm7)wan der through this (F)won der land a (Bbmaj7)lone,

Nev er know ing my (Eb)right foot from my left.

My (Fmaj7)hat from my (Dm7)glove?

I’m too (Gm7)mist y and (C7)too much in (F)love.
